Did not chart
Malkmus and Kannberg cut this tender pop tune about a summer crush in the garage studio of their hippie drummer, Gary Young. "We didn’t know how to record," Malkmus confessed. "We used reverb on the drums — the cheapest, worst reverb ever." Malkmus said he was trying to sound like Lou Reed, singing about "sad boy stuff."
